Really useful…..I have seen lesson four also.Grateful for th explanation as to the formation of words using dhatus,upasarga and pratyas.First time I have seen the’technique’ of word creation in Sanskrit in such a lucid yet simple terms.

What a treasure this Dhatu gems are. i have saved your initial sanskrit lessons which in fact inspired me. Please do continue those series. Even in my dotage I plan to continue the learning and hope to remember it in my next life!

This list is very helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to create it. My goal is to be able to read the Sanskrit scriptures and comprehend it. Your sanskrit lessons are very detailed and yet simple to understand. I am very grateful that I found this work of yours.
